Plough Sunday. Lovely start to the day.

Is it a biscuit? is it a decoration? I suspect it will be both #Wildfarmed. Hung high out of reach of the dogs.

New hedge session 5 (I think). The end is in sight, yey 🙌

Had my #Wildfarmed farm audit today. Pleased to pass, hope I get something nice again🏅

The new wood has arrived, 300 trees in 2 boxes! Sign ordered too, best get digging 😓

Assessing cover crop nutrition values this morning to get a handle on potential nitrogen and other elements being recycled to the spring cash crop. 1 mt/sg harvested ✂️, weighted green and will be dried for dm/ha calc. Green sample to lab tomorrow for analysis. Labrador assistant for scale.

One of the many reasons we enjoy a Waitrose shop 😋.

Having signed up on here I realise I haven’t posted much as it’s a bit slow on farm ATM and days have been admin heavy ☹️. To put this right I’ll post this as a reminder of why we take our farm custodian responsibilities seriously. Generations 4&5 #familyfarmtax

Had a splendid day @GWCT @allertonproject today with fellow @wildfarmed growers. Tacky underfoot but sunny. The Rutland area is very beautiful.

Two best pics of the day from the #FarmersMarch The view from the stage must have been amazing. Proud to have been there to be counted

Not quite everything will get to the #farmersmarch food bank. You’ve got to love the appetite of a Labrador.

@rboldan.bsky.social 2/2 Please bring a pair of boots or wellies to wear in the field and some clean footwear to wear inside.

@rboldan.bsky.social The day will be split into 2 starting at 9am. We will spend the morning in the fields, then take a lunch break, followed by a presentation from Frederic going into more details on cover crops, soil fertility and regenerative agriculture. We estimate the finish to be at 3pm.

Pleased to be on the panel for my 7th+ viewing @sixinchessoil last week. I still get something new from it each time. Buzz went around the room when they released it’s the same farmers market room seen on film. Proud to be a credited supporter of @DragonLFilms alongside @baseuk
